ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF DIRECTIONS IN
VASTU SHASTRA :-
Vastu Shastra essentiality can also be called the science of directions.
There are 4 main directions EAST, WEST , NORTH & SOUTH and 4
sub-directions or the corners at which the main directions meet namely
NORTH-EAST , NORTH-WEST SOUTH-EAST , SOUTH-WEST . Each main Direction
has its own significance in vastu Shastra and the corner directions retain
the characteristics of the two sides they join along with their own
characteristics. Also As per my analysis the 4 sub directions have more
importance that the main direction.

Vastu Shastra
essentially Deals with the positioning of the House/ office / factory
along with other objects and rooms and various other things in any place
according to the above mentioned directions.
The Arrangements of the Rooms and other objects if done up as per the
proper directions in accordance with VASTU SHASTRA ensure proper
flow of positive energy throughout the Home or office or any other piece
of land and influence the lives of its inhabitance in a very favorable
manner.
